Letter To God

by Rachel Dunkerque AKA Carolyn V. Crawford (lyric and melody) Dear God, Dear God, Dear God Dear God, Dear God, Dear God Dear God, Dear God, Dear God Dear God, I thought I'd write These next few lines to you I put down words, this song of praise I offer thanks and gratitude For all you are, for all you do For love that binds me close to you Dear Lord, you love me Without the asking 'Cause I'm Your thought Apart of you. Lord, I'm so grateful to be part of your creation To walk in the flow of your love in every way I hear you, feel you, I see you all around me Each and every day, every day In the hush when the birds awaken the morning In the dance of the sun streaming light from east to west In the bloom of the fields: white, pink, purple and yellow You are everywhere, you are everywhere And when the night Lulls us to sleep I need to know That I can keep Your endless love Within the reach Of every part of my heart. Dear God, I thought I'd write This song of love to you 'Cause you're the answer to my prayers My sweet relief, my solitude You fill me with your light so pure Because I'm bound so close to you So glad you love me Without the asking 'Cause I'm your thought A part of you. Seven times in a day, dear Lord, I praise You And sometimes more for all the love you give to me I look far back at every step I have taken I saw you take three. I saw your take three So now I thank you for all your tender mercies For all above, for everything here below I lift my hands, shout loud unto the heavens Lord, I love you so, Lord I love you so And when the night Removes the day I need to know You'll light my way That your pure love Will ever stay In every part of my heart.
